NZC CEO to step down amid differences over T20 priorities cricket View(s): View(s):Scott Weenink will step down as chief executive of New Zealand Cricket on January 30, 2026. In a media statement, Weenink said the move followed differences with several member associations and the New Zealand Cricket Players’ Association over the organisation’s future priorities and long-term direction, including the role of T20 cricket in New Zealand. “After careful consideration, it has become clear that I hold a different view from several Member Associations, and the NZCPA, on the future priorities for NZC, including the long-term direction of the game and the best role for T20 cricket in New Zealand,” Weenink said. While acknowledging those achievements, Weenink said he did not want to create instability by continuing without the support of key stakeholders. NZC Board chair Diana Puketapu-Lyndon thanked Weenink for his contribution: “NZC acknowledges and thanks Scott for his positive contribution to New Zealand Cricket during his time as CEO, and wishes him well for the future.”– Cricbuzz
